Most of the noise (unless it’s a simple random number) come from a “4D” Perlin noise texture, where R, G, B and Alpha contain separate 2D noises. Terrain perturbed positions also from a 2Dnoise

The World Turtle idea (elephants and all) are as old as the mountains. I only use "the same kind of setting", and am not allowed to make it "Discworld-y". I even confirmed this with Rhianna Pratchett.

See my other reply to a comment. We came with the ideas completely independently, but I've since become online friend with their team lead and she's been very friendly and helpful. I started developing this game in 2019 (I have dev logs) and later learned how many similarities there are between our games.

Thanks. It's actually really hard work to pull it all together, but I'm still very motivated every day!

I get your reference ;) The required animations and sounds alone would need a studio of people to work on :)

I still need to flesh out the "danger/punishment" part of the game a lot. There definitely needs to be some "mutiny" if you can't keep them happy and healthy enough. Still thinking about my options.

I have not used any bots - I don't even know how. Are there other people's bots roaming around?
The comments don't seem "bot-like" to me. How would I be able to tell?

It would be more like Turtles all the way around. Space currently happens in a flat plane rather than 3D.

Thanks, and good luck with your game! Do you have some media I can watch, maybe give some feedback or advice?

Thank you. It does get easier to add stuff the more "fleshed out" the world becomes. It's almost like "empty pockets" start forming in the world that some other ideas slot nicely into.
